[QUOTE="POKE1911, post: 3508148, member: 24536"] Orrrrrrrrrr..... These people can be seen as parasites looking to feed off the generosity of a business that is - unselfishly - selling the product below what the market rate for the sole purpose of taking care of the people that helped them grow to what they are today. If it were about free market and capitalism, then the retailer could simply be charging the 100% mark-up, making a higher profit margin and delivering better results to their shareholders. However, some companies are willing to forego the profit to do what they feel is right by their customer. Trying to make sure that single mom is able to afford practice ammo for her personal protection weapon. Or the hunter that relies on affordable ammo to practice and hunt to put food on the table. I equate these people to the cowards that send their kids up to athletes to get autographs to turnaround and put it up on ebay. Or the people that trade their EBT/WIC for alcohol and tobacco. Personally I would rather pay a 100% mark-up to the store when I have time, rather than meeting up with some unwashed neckbeard with cash at the QT of his choosing on his schedule. [/QUOTE]
